		directevolve 9 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A receipt printer cured my procrastination For me, the keys are: Break down tasks into micro-tasks. Doesn’t have to be written down. Get my body involved. Take handwritten notes when reading. Create micro-deadlines. Have short meetings with colleagues to share progress. Inject mini-rewards. Do one 20-minute task. Then watch one music video on YouTube. I could see room for a productivity app that smoothed out this workflow.

Yes, but it is very difficult because in the end we all have slightly different workflows. But I have a few interesting ideas that I hope people will like soon :)
